Create a Podcast Episode from Your Sermon

Turn your sermon recording or video into a podcast-ready audio file in just a few steps.

Written by Monica Navarro Leonard

Before You Begin

To create a podcast episode, you’ll first need:

  • An uploaded sermon video or audio file in a Project

  • Processing to complete after upload

Once your sermon is ready, you can generate a podcast episode directly from the Project page.


Start a Podcast Episode

  1. Open your Project in Content Studio.

  2. In the Audio Content section, select Podcast Episode.

Content Studio will begin preparing the sermon audio for podcast editing.

Depending on the size of your upload, this may take a few minutes.


Choose How You Want to Start

After selecting Podcast Episode, you’ll see two options:

Start from Scratch

Create a blank podcast episode using your sermon audio as the main content.

This is best if you want full control over:

  • Intro audio

  • Outro audio

  • Background music

  • Start and end trimming

Use a Template

Start with a pre-configured podcast structure from your library of saved templates.

Templates can help streamline recurring podcast formats by automatically applying saved layouts or audio elements.

Edit Your Podcast Episode

Once processing is complete, the Podcast Timeline editor will open.

Your sermon audio will appear in the Primary Content section automatically.

From here, you can:

Add Intro or Outro Audio

Use the Add Speaking Audio button in the Intro or Outro sections to upload additional audio segments.

Examples include:

  • Podcast intros

  • Welcome messages

  • Sponsor reads

  • Closing prayers or announcements

Add Background Music

Use the Add Background Music option to include music beneath your intro or outro sections.

Adjust Start and Stop Points

Trim the sermon audio to remove:

  • Pre-service silence

  • Setup chatter

  • Extended endings

  • Unwanted sections

Preview Your Podcast

Use the playback controls at the bottom of the editor to listen before exporting.


Export Your Podcast Episode

When you're ready:

  1. Select Export in the upper-right corner.

  2. Content Studio will generate your podcast audio file.

  3. Download the exported audio for publishing to your preferred podcast platform.


Notes

  • Podcast generation may take several minutes depending on file size and processing demand.

  • You can export the sermon audio without making any edits.

  • Intro, outro, and music options are optional.
